This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201911384349.9, filed on Dec. 28, 2019 in China National Intellectual Property Administration and entitled “Distributed Block Storage Service Command Processing Method, Apparatus, Device and Medium”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD

The present application relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a distributed block storage service command processing method, apparatus, device and medium.

BACKGROUND

RBD block storage is the most widely used and stable storage type among three storage types provided by Ceph. A RBD block is similar to a disk and can be mounted into physical or virtual machines. In the ISCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface), mainly through a technology of TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet protocol), a storage device (RBD) is made, via an ISCSI target function, into a server side capable of providing a disk, and is then made, via an ISCSI initiator function, into a client capable of mounting and using an ISCSI target. In this way, application of disks can be achieved via an ISCSI protocol. In other words, the ISCSI architecture mainly divides the storage device and a host used into two parts, including:

1. ISCSI target: It is a storage device side, namely a device that stores a disk or RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks). At present, a Linux host can also be simulated as an ISCSI target, to provide a disk for use by other hosts.

2. ISCSI initiator: It is a client that can use the target, usually a server. That is to say, a server that intends to be connected to the ISCSI target needs to have the relevant functions of the ISCSI initiator installed before using the disk provided by the ISCSI target.

In practical applications, a client terminal can achieve operation on the block storage by establishing librbd (that is, a block storage library provided by Ceph, which achieves a RBD interface) which is connected to and accesses a bottom layer with tgt (that is, a Linux SCSI target framework, an ISCSI target implemented by a user state). A plurality of block devices can be mapped to one target, and a plurality of targets can be established on one tgt. The client terminal can be connected to one or more targets on the tgt for access. The tgt can establish a LUN (Logical Unit Number) to provide block services to the client, and one LUN corresponds to one block storage volume.

In the prior art, the RBD can manage volumes, snapshots, clones, etc. through command lines, but if a volume is being mounted and used by the ISCSI target, that is, if the volume has been opened, and at this time, if the volume and the snapshot are being modified through a rbd command line, an ISCSI target service will not be able to use simultaneous snapshot rollback. Currently, the Ceph does not support online rollback. If snapshot rollback is required, mapping volumes need to be unloaded layer by layer, then rolled back, and finally re-mapped and mounted. Such a process is quite cumbersome. At the same time, if rbd is one progress, and the command is called very frequently, a large number of progresses will be started, whereby a large number of unrelated services will appear in a cluster and affect the overall performance. In a distributed deployment scenario with an extremely high performance requirement, it will inevitably affect the user experience.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

In the prior art, the RBD can manage volumes, snapshots, clones, etc. through command lines, but if a volume is being mounted and used by the ISCSI target, that is, if the volume has been opened, and at this time, if the volume and the snapshot are being modified through a rbd command line, an ISCSI target service will not be able to use simultaneous snapshot rollback. Currently, the Ceph does not support online rollback. If snapshot rollback is required, mapping volumes need to be unloaded layer by layer, then rolled back, and finally re-mapped and mounted. Such a process is quite cumbersome. At the same time, if rbd is one progress, and the command is called very frequently, a large number of progresses will be started, whereby a large number of unrelated services will appear in a cluster and affect the overall performance. In a distributed deployment scenario with an extremely high performance requirement, it will inevitably affect the user experience. In view of this, the present application provides a distributed storage block command processing solution, which can simplify a command processing flow and reduce a cluster load, thus improving the overall performance of a cluster.

Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present application discloses a distributed block storage service command processing method based on an ISCSI, including the following steps:

Step S11: by means of tgtadm, acquiring a rbd command of a block storage service, parsing the rbd command to obtain a corresponding task parameter, and then transmitting the task parameter to an ISCSI target.

In this embodiment, the tgtadm is a management tool, and the objects it manages include a target.

It should be noted that the rbd command in this embodiment includes, but not limited to, relevant operation commands for volumes, snapshots, and clones.

In this embodiment, the tgtadm and the ISCSI target may communicate with each other on the basis of an IPC manner. That is, the task parameter is transmitted to the ISCSI target by means of tgtadm, specifically including: the task parameter is transmitted to the ISCSI target by means of tgtadm and on the basis of the IPC manner.

Step S12: by means of tgtd, starting a dedicated thread for processing a task corresponding to the task parameter, and monitoring a real-time processing result of the current task.

In this embodiment, in order to reduce the influence of the block storage service on other businesses, the dedicated thread is started by means of the tgtd, which is specifically used for processing the task corresponding to the above task parameter.

Further, in order to prevent the task from being triggered by mistake subsequently when the real-time processing result such as progress information is sent, in this embodiment, the starting the dedicated thread for processing the task corresponding to the task parameter by means of tgtd may further includes: deleting an fd from epoll monitoring.

In addition, in order to achieve monitoring for the real-time processing result of the current task, this embodiment may be implemented with the callback function. That is, in this embodiment, the process of monitoring a real-time processing result of the current task by means of tgtd may specifically include: setting, by means of the tgtd, a callback function, and acquiring, by means of the callback function, a real-time processing result of the current task.

In this embodiment, the acquiring, by means of the callback function, the real-time processing result of the current task may specifically include: acquiring, by means of the callback function, a real-time processing progress of the current task. Further, the acquiring, by means of the callback function, the real-time processing result of the current task may further include: acquiring, by means of the callback function, an error code of the current task. That is, the real-time processing result in this embodiment may specifically include the real-time processing progress or the error code of the current task.

Step S13: returning the real-time processing result to the tgtadm by means of the ISCSI target, whereby the tgtadm displays the real-time processing result on a human-computer interface.

Specifically, the returning the real-time processing result to the tgtadm by means of the ISCSI target may include includes: returning the real-time processing result to the tgtadm by means of the iscis target and on the basis of the IPC manner.

In the embodiments of present application, the rbd command of the block storage service is acquired by means of the tgtadm, and the corresponding task parameter is moved upwards to the ISCSI target; by means of the tgtd, the dedicated thread for processing the task corresponding to the task parameter is started, and the real-time processing result is monitored; and the real-time processing result is then returned to the tgtadm by means of the ISCSI target, whereby the tgtadm displays the real-time processing result on the human-computer interface. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, the rbd command is moved upwards to a target layer, which is equivalent to moving operations for volumes, snapshots, and clones upwards to the target layer for processing. In this case, if it is necessary to carry out operations such as volume modification and snapshot rollback, related scheduling can be directly completed on the target layer without an operation of unmounting and mounting again. This process is insensitive to users. In this way, a large amount of human labor can be saved, the flow is simplified, and the user experience is improved. Moreover, after a large number of query commands are moved upwards to the target layer, many processes and io flows irrelevant to businesses are reduced in a distributed cluster, thus greatly reducing the cluster load.

Referring to FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present application discloses a particular distributed block storage service command processing method based on an ISCSI, including the following steps:

Step S21: by means of tgtadm, acquiring a rbd command of a block storage service, parsing the rbd command to obtain a corresponding task parameter, and then transmitting the task parameter to an ISCSI target in an IPC manner.

Step S22: starting, by means of tgtd, a dedicated thread for processing a task corresponding to the task parameter, and setting a callback function, and transmitting the callback function and the task parameter to the block storage service, whereby the block storage service calls the callback function to return a corresponding real-time processing progress to the tgtd when a target progress state corresponding to the task parameter has an update.

In this embodiment, after the ISCSI target receives the task parameter, the tgtd will start the corresponding dedicated task processing thread, set the callback function, and then transmit the callback function and the task parameter to the block storage service. In this way, when the target progress state corresponding to the task parameter has an update, the block storage service may directly actively call the above callback function, so as to return the corresponding real-time processing progress to the tgtd and achieve the purpose of the tgtd for monitoring the real-time processing result of the current task.

Step S23: by means of the ISCSI target, parsing the real-time processing progress, calculating a corresponding progress percentage, and then returning the progress percentage to the tgtadm in an IPC manner, whereby the tgtadm converts the process percentage into a corresponding progress bar, and displays the progress bar on a human-computer interface.

In this embodiment, the iscis target will calculate the progress percentage corresponding to the above real-time processing progress, and send the progress percentage to the tgtadm in the IPC manner. After acquiring the above progress percentage, the tgtadm may convert the same into the corresponding visual progress bar, and send the progress bar to the human-computer interface for display. In this way, a user can visually and timely know the processing process of the current task.

FIG. 3 illustrates a flow of a specific distributed block storage service command processing method based on an ISCSI disclosed by the present application. In FIG. 3, a command line parameter of the block storage service is transferred to an ISCSI target layer for redesign, and is transmitted to the tgtd in the IPC manner. In order to reduce the influence of the interaction of the block storage service on other businesses, the tgtd starts a thread to independently process this type of task, and deletes the fd from the epoll monitoring to prevent mistake triggering of the task at each transmission of the progress. A need_process sign is designed to indicate whether it is necessary to print a progress bar, and this sign is set to be true only for a command line that needs a progress bar; progress_count is designed at the tgtadm to mark the number of replies. At each time when the tgtd replies, progress_count++ is executed. At the first receiving by the tgtadm, it is determined that progress is 1, that is, a label is added on the progress during printing to indicate a command; designing progress marks the current progress percentage; designing complete marks whether it is completed; and the tgtadm controls the percentage process in each update. When progress_count is not 1, and progress is not 0, the following code is executed:

printf (stdout, “%.s”, 4, backspace), completing a command line, and displaying backspace. When the complete sign is not true, the following code is executed:

fprintf (stdout, “%*u % %”, 3, progress), completing the printing of the progress bar.

In FIG. 3, at the ISCSI target, by means of the tgtd, the callback function is designed, and a pointer of the function is transmitted to the block storage service. This function is called when there is a progress update during the task processing by the block storage service. The ISCSI target will parse the progress, calculate the percentage, and send, through an IPC socket, a message to the tgtadm, and the tgatdm then displays a task progress on an interface of a console.

It can be seen that in this embodiment, each rbd command is moved upwards to the target layer, and various processing logics are managed in the ISCSI target layer. Various operations can be performed on volumes without canceling volume mapping. The tgtd sets the callback responsible for receiving the progress of the block storage service and sending the same to the tgtadm, and the progress will be shown to the user through an algorithm. The ISCSI commands error code information to be returned. That is, in this embodiment, the rbd command is moved upwards to the ISCSI target layer; the target layer receives an upper-layer task and acts as an intermediate layer between the rbd and the user; the ISCSI target indirectly designs the callback to acquire the processing progress or error code of the block storage service, and transmits the same to the tgtadm by the IPC; the tgtadm shows the progress to the user through the algorithm, and displays the error code. Through the above solution, the operations such as volume renaming and volume deletion can be performed without canceling the volume mapping.

Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, the rbd command is moved upwards to a target layer, which is equivalent to moving operations for volumes, snapshots, and clones upwards to the target layer for processing. In this case, if it is necessary to carry out operations such as volume modification and snapshot rollback, related scheduling can be directly completed on the target layer without an operation of unmounting and mounting again. This process is insensitive to users. In this way, a large amount of human labor can be saved, the flow is simplified, and the user experience is improved.
